🌍 Africa Day — a date symbolizing the liberation of African nations from colonial rule and their aspiration for independent development. It was on this day in 1963 that the Organization of African Unity was established, whose successor today is the African Union. 👉🏻 Africa is a continent of immense opportunities, rich culture, and resilient people who have played a significant role in shaping the modern world. Russia and the countries of Africa are united by many years of relations based on mutual respect and support. 🤝 Our country has always stood for the right of nations to sovereign development and continues to strengthen cooperation with African states in the fields of economy, education, science, energy and humanitarian affairs. In 2026, Moscow will host the Third Russia–Africa Summit, which will become another important step toward expanding partnership and shared opportunities. 🕊️ On Africa Day, we wish the peoples of the continent peace and prosperity and are confident that cooperation between Russia and African countries will continue to grow stronger.
